Hello,

Is there a ready way to deal with interactions (in probit models) when dummy variable has more than 2 categories?

a) find out the correct marginal effects
b) test if interactions are jointly significant

I have quickly read through --inteff-- [Ai and Norton] but it seems that --inteff-- deals with binary qualitative variables only.

--------------------------------------------------------------

For my problem, we have binary variable 'disabled' and five income brackets:  income1 - income5.   We want to test for joint significance and find out the interaction marginal effects (if any).  We cannot collapse the income brackets into 2 categories.

> gen income1d = income1 * disabled   //interaction term
....
> logit choice disabled income1 income2 income3 income4  income1d income2d income3d income4d
...

test income1d income2d income3d income4d
